12 The configure script *always* tries to find a working SSL library unless
13 explicitely told not to. If you have SSLeay or OpenSSL installed in the
14 default search path for your compiler/linker, you don't need to do anything
17 If you have SSLeay or OpenSSL installed in /usr/local/ssl, you can
18 run configure like so:
20 ./configure --with-ssl
22 If you have SSLeay or OpenSSL installed somewhere else (for example,
23 /opt/OpenSSL,) you can run configure like this:
25 ./configure --with-ssl=/opt/OpenSSL
27 If you insist on forcing a build *without* SSL support, even though you may
28 have it installed in your system, you can run configure like this:
30 ./configure --without-ssl
32 If you have SSLeay or OpenSSL installed, but with the libraries in
33 one place and the header files somewhere else, you'll have to set the
34 LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS environment variables prior to running configure.
35 Something like this should work:
37 (with the Bourne shell and its clones):
39 CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/ssl/lib" \
42 (with csh, tcsh and their clones):
44 env CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/ssl/lib" \
47 If your SSL library was compiled with rsaref (usually for use in
48 the United States), you may also need to set:
50 LIBS=-lRSAglue -lrsaref
51 (from Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>)
53 Without SSL support, just run:
61 Use the executable `curl` in src/ directory.
63 'make install' copies the curl file to /usr/local/bin/ (or $prefix/bin
64 if you used the --prefix option to configure) and copies the curl.1
65 man page to a suitable place too.
69 If you happen to have autoconf installed, but a version older than
70 2.12 you will get into trouble. Then you can still build curl by
71 issuing these commands: (from Ralph Beckmann <rabe@uni-paderborn.de>)
76 cp src/curl elsewhere/bin/
80 Remember, to force configure to use the standard cc compiler if both
81 cc and gcc are present, run configure like
93 MingW32 (GCC-2.95) style
94 ------------------------
95 Run the 'mingw32.bat' file to get the proper environment variables
96 set, then run 'make -f Makefile.m32' in the lib/ dir and then
97 'make -f Makefile.m32' in the src/ dir.
99 If you have any problems linking libraries or finding header files,
100 be sure to look at the provided "Makefile.m32" files for the proper
101 paths, and adjust as necessary.
105 Almost identical to the unix installation. Run the configure script
106 in the curl root with 'sh configure'. Make sure you have the sh
107 executable in /bin/ or you'll see the configure fail towards the
112 Microsoft command line style
113 ----------------------------
114 Run the 'vcvars32.bat' file to get the proper environment variables
115 set, then run 'nmake -f Makefile.vc6' in the lib/ dir and then
116 'nmake -f Makefile.vc6' in the src/ dir.
119 -------------------------
120 If you use VC++, Borland or similar compilers. Include all lib source
121 files in a static lib "project" (all .c and .h files that is).
122 (you should name it libcurl or similar)
124 Make the sources in the src/ drawer be a "win32 console application"
125 project. Name it curl.
127 With VC++, add 'wsock32.lib' to the link libs when you build curl!
128 Borland seems to do that itself magically. Of course you have to
129 make sure it links with the libcurl too!
131 For VC++ 6, there's an included Makefile.vc6 that should be possible
132 to use out-of-the-box.
134 Microsoft note: add /Zm200 to the compiler options, as the hugehelp.c
135 won't compile otherwise due to "too long puts string" or something
141 MingW32 (GCC-2.95) style
142 ------------------------
143 Run the 'mingw32.bat' file to get the proper environment variables
144 set, then run 'make -f Makefile.m32 SSL=1' in the lib/ dir and then
145 'make -f Makefile.m32 SSL=1' in the src/ dir.
147 If you have any problems linking libraries or finding header files,
148 be sure to look at the provided "Makefile.m32" files for the proper
149 paths, and adjust as necessary.
154 Haven't done, nor got any reports on how to do. It should although be
155 identical to the unix setup for the same purpose. See above.
157 Microsoft command line style
158 ----------------------------
159 Run the 'vcvars32.bat' file to get the proper environment variables
160 set, then run 'nmake -f Makefile.vc6 release-ssl' in the lib/ dir and
161 then 'nmake -f Makefile.vc6' in the src/ dir.
163 Microsoft / Borland style
164 -------------------------
165 If you have OpenSSL/SSLeay, and want curl to take advantage of it,
166 edit your project properties to use the SSL include path, link with
167 the SSL libs and define the USE_SSLEAY symbol.
173 You'll find OpenSSL information at:
175 http://www.openssl.org
181 You'll find MingW32 and Cygwin information at:
183 http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/index.html
188 You'll find OpenLDAP information at:
190 http://www.openldap.org
192 You need to install it with shared libraries, which is enabled when running
193 the ldap configure script with "--enable-shared". With my linux 2.0.36
194 kernel I also had to disable using threads (with --without-threads),
195 because the configure script couldn't figure out my system.
